An unseeded player will be in the last eight of the outdoor hard court ATX Open. Caroliine Dolehide takes on Varvara Gracheva in round two of this tournament that's being played in Austin, Texas. Here's our match prediction.

Next up for the victor will be either eighth-seeded Suzan Lamens or unseeded Greet Minnen. Dolehide had a tough first round match and the world number 80 needed three sets to defeat qualifier Anastasia Zakharova.

That's taken the 26-year-old to 76th in the live rankings. This is her second match against Gracheva, the other was lost in three sets in 2022. So far in 2025, Dolehide has reached round two twice in three tournaments Her last quarter-final was when being runner-up in Guangzhou last October.

Varvara Gracheva had a big win in the first round. The French player defeated third-seeded Peyton Stearns for the loss of only five games, That win has seen her rise to 70th in the live rankings.

Like her opponent, Gracheva is attempting to reach her first quarter-final of the year. Not since Hong Kong four months ago has she reached a last eight.  This could be a tight match and we go for over 19.5 games to be played in this match.
